No pre-op diet... anyone else??



Recommended Posts

My surgery is scheduled for July 17th. My Dr does not believe the pre-op liquid diets “do anything”. Anyone else have this? Seems most people in here do the liquid diet before surgery too. Curious if I should do something on my own to get my head in the game but part of me thinks I should just be business as usual.

@Dee_Rose

my doc told me NO to pre-op liquid diet. Wish i did do liquids pre-op, would have given me a leg up on lbs before surgery. I vote, " get your head in the game" and start eating better immediately. Couple of weeks before WLS - do liquids only.

good luck

I'm not a fan of keto...but I would cut carbs for two weeks before surgery to shrink the liver.

i also had no pre op diet beyond the 48 hours before surgery and that was clear liquid.

I did a pre op diet to shed some weight before the surgery. The only liquid only diet I had to do was 72hrs prior to the surgery.

I only had 24 hrs clear liquid.

I'm honestly very grateful. I had my food funerals. I got some cravings out of my system. I don't at all think it has harmed my post surgical success.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
